The book provides the intellectual tools to understand the existential dimensions of what it is to be gendered. Classical phenomenology began qualitative studies, in a self-aware self-critical approach to qualitative appearances of being. This book applies the thought of Husserl and Heidegger and introduces Simone De Beauvoir's analysis of the masculine-feminine balance of power. It understands conceptual meaning as referring to qualitative wholes, in a variety of settings. Simply put, the meaningful space of everyday life is one in which families, culture and society develop the next generation. This is also the space in which qualitative meaning exists. Understanding arises out of sensuality; one example is the way genders arise against the background of everyday social life: gendered expressions of roles and identities exist through identifying with the social type gender. Specifically, in relation to gender, it is argued that trouble cases and inter-gender boundary dynamics show aspects of gender roles.
